If you're just beginning to build credit for the first time, you will likely need to start with a secured credit card. Secured cards work just like normal credit cards, but you have to put down a refundable security deposit to get approved. By putting a few charges on your secured cards and always paying your balance off in full and on time each month you should be able to build your credit back up over time. The Capital One® Secured Mastercard® and the Discover it® Secured Card - No Annual Fee are both great options.

I'm looking for an airline reward card that will let me fly any airline and has no blackout dates. Is there one that is also a MasterCard? I want to be able to earn fuel rewards through shell with a MasterCard, so if it can do both, that would be awesome.
